As early as ten or twenty years ago, the Chinese New Year stall was already the most popular schedule in China.

In the past ten years, with the growing domestic film market, the Chinese New Year stalls have been subdivided.

The Spring Festival stalls inside have become the highest total box office schedule in the year because of the Chinese New Year, and the New Year's Day stalls are close behind, although there is no 7-day holiday, but 3 days is not a lot, plus in the New Year stalls, the movies released are also good at the box office.

There are a lot of films released on New Year's Day this year, and the one that has attracted the most attention is [Predecessor 3: Goodbye Ex], [The Second Generation of Fairies Are Lucky in This Life], [Anxiety Relief Grocery Store], and [Demon Bell].

Among them, [Demon Bell] is a pure comedy, and it is also the first film directed by Wu Junru, produced by her husband director Chen Kexin, starring Wu Junru, Shen Teng, and Yue Yunpeng.

Comedy has always been a promising theme over the years, and high box office results abound, and [Demon Bell] is the first collaboration between Wu Junru, Chen Kexin, and Happy Twist, which is quite much expected by everyone.

[Anxiety Grocery Store] is produced by Wanda and Emperor, adapted from the suspense of the same name by Keigo Higashino, starring the new top Di Lieba, Wang Junkai, one of the three small ones, and Dong Zijian, the son of Wang Jinghua, Cheng Long joined in, which can be said to have gathered all the conditions for a big box office hit, big investment, good scripts, and traffic stars.

[The Second Generation Goblin] is controlled by Chen Guofu, starring Liu Yifei and Feng Shaofeng, and is known as a domestic fantasy romance film with an investment of 120 million.

Chen Guofu is very famous in the industry.

He was first the director of Columbia Pictures Asia and was later invited by the two Huayi brothers to be the director of film production for the Huayi brothers.

In the past seven years, he has produced a total of 14 films, 10 of which have grossed over 100 million yuan.

The movies produced by Huayi Brothers at their peak, such as the [Di Renjie] series, [No Thieves in the World], [Tai Chi] series, [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb] and other films, are all produced by Chen Guofu.

He also served as the director and filmed a spy war blockbuster [Wind] with a bumper box office and word-of-mouth.

In 2014, Chen Guofu ended his cooperation with Huayi and founded [Kung Fu Movie] by himself.

Later, he cooperated with your fan to sell the best-selling [Ghost Blowing Lantern: Dragon Hunting].

[Predecessor 3] can be said to be the most inconspicuous of the four movies in terms of subject matter and story.

[Anxiety Grocery Store] and [Second Generation Goblin] are both fantasy films, [Demon Bell] is a comedy known as the holiday ace, and [Predecessor 3] is just a traditional urban romance movie.

The first two parts of the [Predecessor] series, the box office can only be regarded as average, the first part is 120 million, and the second part is 250 million, because of the small investment, the first two parts have made money.

It's just that because of Gu Wei's joining in the third part, although the attention of the film has skyrocketed, the inevitable investment has also increased greatly, and the shooting cost is as high as 100 million yuan, plus 60 million yuan invested in publicity.

[Predecessor 3] The current pressure to return to investment is not small.

On December 27, Gu Wei flew back to Beijing from Changsha and ended the last rehearsal of Mango Channel's New Year's Eve concert.

In the afternoon, after changing clothes, I took a car to the venue of the premiere of [Predecessor 3].

"Mr. Gu, how much box office do you think our film can get?" Before the ceremony began, Wang Zhongjun stood beside Gu Wei and then asked.

"Although there are still three domestic blockbusters released on New Year's Day, in my opinion, none of them are competitive.

With the current publicity popularity of [Predecessor 3], it shouldn't be difficult to get a box office of more than 1.5 billion" Gu Wei is not modest.

Wang Zhongjun looked at him in some surprise.

"It would be great if that was the case.

To be honest, judging by the results of the first two films in this series, I began to think that 500 million box office is a good result"

Gu Wei chuckled.

"Mr. Wang, you are dishonest when you say this.

If the expected box office at the beginning is only 500 million, then there is no need to invite me to come, and I have been given such a high investment share."

"Haha." Wang Zhongjun, who was told to be out of his mind, smiled. "I've been in the film industry for so many years, and I know very well how uncertain a film's box office can be.

However, I am still full of confidence in cooperating with Mr. Gu, and as for the result, I believe that none of us will be disappointed! ”

"The king will not regret it"

The premiere ceremony began soon, and because of Huayi, many celebrities in the film and television industry came today, and even Feng Xiaogang and his wife were also present.

Director Feng has been in high spirits recently, and [Fanghua] has a bumper harvest at the box office, which has won him a lot of praise.

The current box office of the movie has exceeded one billion, and the momentum is still unabated, and it can harvest another three or four billion box office depending on the situation.

As the main creator, Gu Wei politely thanked Feng Xiaogang for coming, and said a few polite words after meeting.

"Haven't you always disliked Gu Wei?

Why did Wang Zhongjun come over today after being invited? After Gu Wei left, Xu Fan, who was standing beside him, whispered to her husband.

"I met him at the last award ceremony and chatted a few words, and I felt that this person was not as arrogant as I imagined.

To be honest, if I had his current grades at his age, I am afraid that my eyes would not have grown on the top of my head.

The first thing I came here today is to save face for Wang Zhongjun, and secondly, I also want to see what the effect of this romantic film that Huayi invited Gu Wei to shoot at a huge cost.

I am becoming more and more incomprehensible in the current domestic film market.

[Mermaid] more than 3 billion can be said to be Zhou Xingchi's influence, [Tang Detective 2] is such a high box office, I don't quite understand.

As for the [Wolf Warrior 2] in this year's summer file, it is inexplicable that it can get a box office of 6 billion.

I can't see how good that movie is, and I feel that it is very rare to have a billion box office.

It is said that Gu Wei's popularity is invincible, and the box office appeal is now the first in domestic entertainment.

I have also read the script of [Predecessor 3] before, the plot is very simple, and Ni Ni and Zheng Kai are not stars with particularly strong box office appeal.

I want to see what kind of box office results Wang Zhongjun will have if he invited Gu Wei at such a big price."

After Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, Xu Fan beside him nodded, his eyes looking at Gu Wei's figure not far away.

"The young man is still very polite to look at, and according to his past results, he is indeed talented.

If we can get along, it will be a win-win situation to work together in the future."

"Let's see, at least it's okay to get by now."

The premiere began quickly.

Under the arrangement of the host, the main creator spoke first, and then the media interview session.

Gu Wei himself actually has a certain similarity with the "Meng Yun" in the movie, and sometimes filming on the spot really makes me speechless" Remembering the interview with Ni Ni, she smiled and shared interesting things with everyone during the shooting.

"I remember one scene where we were sitting and chatting together in the dark, and it was a very romantic atmosphere.

As a result, the director just shouted, and he slapped me on the arm and said "mosquito"!

The key is also very hard, it really hurts, and it knocked me out of the play at once, and the romantic atmosphere just now is all gone"

After she finished speaking, Gu Wei took over with a smile.

"It's definitely a knee-jerk reaction, and I didn't react until I finished filming, it's broken, and it's too hard.

Luckily, Niny didn't bother with me."

Later, a reporter asked how Gu Wei would deal with the relationship with his predecessor.

I think a lot of conflicts are caused by a lack of communication, so in real life, I won't let myself have the same dilemma as the male protagonist in the movie.

As I said before, even if the ex is separated for various reasons, they will communicate well with each other, and everyone can be friends if they can't be lovers."

The interview session with the creators is coming to an end, and finally remember to let everyone report the expectation of a movie box office.

Some say that the box office will definitely break 600 million, and some say that it is perfect, and they are optimistic that the box office of [Predecessor 3] will reach 1 billion.

Director Tian Yusheng is very cautious, because the box office of the last [Predecessor 2] was only 250 million, and he modestly said that he is already very satisfied if the movie can break 500 million.

In the end, it was Gu Wei's turn.

"I think [Predecessor 3] is a movie that is very worthy of young people to watch, and it can be regarded as laughter and tears.

Tian Dao is too modest, add 1 in front of 500 million, and there should be no problem to break 1.5 billion! ”

The box office of the love movie exceeded 1.5 billion, which is an undeniable statement in anyone's eyes, but no one thinks that Gu Wei is bragging, after all, his record is there, even if it is 1.5 billion, many people believe that he may really be able to do it if he joins.

Soon, media interviews, mini-game interactions and other links ended, and the film began to be screened.

Two hours passed quickly, and the audience burst into thunderous applause after the movie ended, and many of the girls who came to the premiere shed tears.

Feng Xiaogang clapped his hands and frowned at the big screen.

"That's it?"

He really didn't see how good the movie was.

Gu Wei is very handsome, Ni Ni is very beautiful, and Zheng Kai's pair is also quite interesting, but the whole plot is relatively loose, and the comedy is not as good as his [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb], and the place to express emotions is far from [Fanghua].

He couldn't even understand why the little girls sitting next to him were crying.

However, it is not surprising that Director Feng is just 60 years old this year, and it is still difficult for him to understand the love between modern urban men and women and the feelings about exes and regrets.

"I feel like Gu Wei is going to have a big fall this time.

I don't see anything outstanding about this movie.

It can't be said to be bad, mediocre.

The only highlight is the appearance of Gu Wei and Ni Ni.

These two people's acting skills are quite good, but it's a pity that the plot and role restrictions can't be played too much," Feng Xiaogang shook his head as he spoke.

"I don't think it's good."

After all, Xu Fan is a woman, her mind is more delicate, and she can feel the kind of emotion conveyed in the movie.

The premiere of [Predecessor 3] ended, and various media reports on the Internet also came.

The media and film critics who have watched the movie at the premiere are naturally positive comments, everyone has received money, even if they are not optimistic in their hearts, but they will express some positive opinions about the movie for the sake of the money in their pockets.

The discussion about this film on the Internet is getting hotter and hotter.

However, because [Predecessor 3] has not been screened, there are still relatively few people who have watched the film.

You can only learn about this movie through some interesting trailers.

The first cooperation between Gu Wei and Ni Ni, the eye-catching handsome guys and beauties, Gu Wei and Zheng Kai, the "sullen and cheap" good brothers in the video, have made the audience have a lot of curiosity about the movie.

The spread of short video promotions such as Douyin and Kuaishou has made countless young people understand and look forward to this movie.

On Friday, December 29th, [Predecessor 3] was officially released.

On the same day, the three movies [Second Generation Goblin], [Anxiety Relief Grocery Store], and [Demon Bell Bell] were also released at the same time.

With Gu Wei's super personal fame, [Predecessor 3] got 28% of the national film schedule on the first day of release.

The single-day box office was 98.24 million, and it won the national box office champion on the day.

Under the banner of Happy Twist, [Demon Lingling] joined by Shen Teng followed, with a single-day box office of 84.21 million.

[The Second Generation Goblin] ranked third with 57.79 million, and [Anxiety Relief Grocery Store] only had 38.31 million, ranking last among the four films.

Soon, the first three days passed.

The four movies in the New Year's Day file are also completely different.

[Predecessor 3] continued to make great progress on Saturday and Sunday, with a single-day box office exceeding 100 million yuan one after another, and a total of 385 million yuan in the first three days, which is a standout.

[Demon Bell], which performed well on the first day of release, collapsed on the second day, and the box office gradually declined, with the box office just breaking 200 million in the first week.

The remaining two [Second Generation Goblins] and [Anxiety Relief Grocery Store] have not been able to make any breakthroughs, and the box office in the first week is only a little more than 100 million.

The four movies in this year's New Year's Day file are actually not very good.

[Demon Bell] focuses on the convergence of comedy stars from the north and south, but the plot is old-fashioned, lacks novelty, and the integration of Hong Kong-style humor and mainland humor is improper, and many jokes make people extremely embarrassed.

It's the most powerful of the four movies.

[Anxiety Relief Grocery Store] has the popular little fresh meat Wang Junkai, the popular little flower Di Lieba starring, and Cheng Long's friendship to join, the original book is also a very good story, but this film has a bit of a bad reputation when it is screened, and the follow-up film schedule has not been able to come up.

[Second-generation goblins], Chen Guofu's expectations are very high, and he even has the idea of creating a goblin universe.

However, the plot is really not so attractive, although Liu Yifei and Feng Shaofeng are both very famous, neither of them is the kind of star with box office appeal.

Liu Yifei has a super high national popularity, but the movies he filmed are only sold by [Tang Detective 2], who followed Gu Wei on a ride.

Most of the movies of their own monoclonal antibodies hit the streets.

She seems to have a lot of fans, but she rarely seems willing to spend money on her idols.

Feng Shaofeng is a very amazing star, if you watch the film and television dramas filmed, he is undoubtedly a first-line star.

But this person has always lacked some sense of presence in the entertainment industry, has good resources, acted in a lot of blockbuster movies, and has a good reputation, but it is easy for people to ignore.

[Predecessor 3] is actually not ideal in terms of word-of-mouth, and it has a relatively low rating compared with Gu Wei's previous movies.

But the magic is that although many people have given bad reviews to this film, it still can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for watching the movie.

Even after the New Year's Day schedule, a period of small-scale movie-watching hotspots were formed.
